BACKGROUND
19
Gerald Wright (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis
20
with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 9, 2016, Plaintiff filed
21
the Complaint commencing this action at the United States District Court for the Central
22
District of California. (ECF No. 1.) On December 15, 2016, Plaintiff’s case was transferred to
23
this court. (ECF No. 4.)
24
On August 31, 2017, the court screened the Complaint and issued an order dismissing
25
the Complaint for failure to state a claim, with leave to amend within thirty days. (ECF No.
26
13.) The thirty-day deadline has passed and Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint or
27
otherwise responded to the court’s order. As a result, there is now no pleading Complaint on
28
file.

On October 20, 2017, the court issued an order to show cause, requiring Plaintiff to

respond within fourteen days, showing cause why this case should not be dismissed. (ECF No.

show cause.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:

1.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), this case be
7
DISMISSED, with prejudice, based on Plaintiff’s failure to respond to court
8
orders and failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under §
9
1983; and

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
The Clerk be directed to close this case.
12
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).

fourteen (14) days from the date of service of these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff
14
may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections
15
to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file
16
objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v.
